One day wild Great Wall tour

Hiking the Wild Great Wall and the countryside ride

You will not only see the Great Wall, but also enjoy the panoramic ride in the mountains at North Beijing. We will make a stop at the Silver Pagodas, which is a site of majestic beauty with quite a Zen feeling. The ride will take you through some small Chinese villages until arriving to the Great Wall near Huang Hua Shang or Shengtengyu far from the crowds of tourists. Once arrived get your walking shoes on and start hiking up. And to reward your efforts, have a quality time savouring a French picnic on the top tower with view over the many branches of the surrounding wall.

Summer

On the other hand, summer in Beijing is very hot and there can be some very short showers.
Rains are hot and usually short and if it rains we provide rain gears.

Helmet

In China, wearing a helmet is compulsory on motorbikes but our three wheels machines are very stable and don’t feel in the same category, so it is up to you to decide whether to wear it or to hit the road with the hair in the wind.
